## Questions, answered briefly

**What is Field of Daisies?**

A mural in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in [Parklands](https://www.chch.live/parklands). The map credits Ira Mitchell.

**Where does Field of Daisies stand?**

In Parklands, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps no listed place within 300m of it.

**Is the pin on the map exact?**

It’s OpenStreetMap’s position, a surveyed-looking point, but a volunteer map’s one. Nearby ground and register places are neighbours, not the same record.

The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged memorial or artwork inside the city boundary (ODbL). Maker, material and date fields are the mapper’s own, kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a catalogue record.
